Maybe because I wasn't expecting any thing, but I ain't surprised by all the Wii-U ports, it sold like the boxed flu.

- Blastoise in Pokken is pretty cool, I guess Aegislash is alright too.
- Hyrule Warriors, meh, it has to be a franchise I REALLY like for me to get a Warriors game
- Mario Tennis looks alright, I'm not surprised by Waluigi's slick hair
- Look, Luigi is now in Odyssey AND we get a Mario Sunshine suit.
- Spider-Kirby should be pretty dope.
- SNK got me real excited only to disappoint in like 3 seconds. First, No Terry, No Buy. Then "1 button combos".
- Dark Souls is a good port to get I guess.

Most importantly, FUNKY KONG is playable. And just like MKWii, he's the STRONGEST!

If irw just a Direct Mini, I'll be disappointed.
Speaking of devil....

That said, for a Direct Mini, it wasn't a bad Direct at all. However, it is a bit of odd that the first direct of 2018 they release is a Direct Mini... does this mean the real Direct will be on February or even March?
Man, don't you love when a enemy that have spike damages, that can deal damages to the entire party and focus on your healer come out of nowhere while you are fighting a unique monster?
Or just basically has an attack that takes a ton of damage...

Well, I did almost died when it first happened to me.(Thankfully, Tora has a special ability that let him keep 1 HP if a big attack hit him, So I runned away like a brave coward)
Seriously, if things get too dicey such as Unique Monster attract more monsters... run...
>Ys VIII on Switch

What the ****, nothing makes sense anymore. Hopefully this port will have a less garbage translation than other versions.

Trails series game on Switch when
Now I want to newest Legend of Heros on Switch..... also so contradicting when you know Nihon Falcom used to say they weren't interested on making games for Switch 2 to 3 months ago.
What I'm excited for:
- Word Ends With You On Switch
- Ys VIII on Switch (Remember how Nihon Falcom used to say they aren't interested on making games on Switch.)

The only game that grabbed my attention was the new Mario Tennis. Power Tennis for the GBA was one of the most fun I had with the console, and I have good memories in general with this series. Hopefully the story mode is nice.
Well.... it was nearly a disappointment for me... I was never a fan of Mario Tennis games though.
Also, should we be excited or worried that many Wii U games are porting to Switch?

Now I think Smash 4 Definitive Edition is even more likely now, have ll DLC included... new adventure story mode... Smash Run included, better online, Joy Con support etc
Feels weird that Nintendo has so much third party support now that they can kinda chill on the first party announcements.

Anyways SNK Heroines had a slightly different trailer in the JPN direct.

Looking at this.... is good, but... sorry, I prefer Blade Strangers...
I won't be surprised if this game will get some censorship...

Edit:
HELL, it's a miracle that this game is coming to the west...

Xeno is still niche in my eyes, but **** so is Bayonetta, so you got a point on both. Forgot about those.
Yes, but they are all awesome games...
Please... Xenoblade X on Switch....

If you own a WiiU, idk why you bought a Switch.
Huh, odd response but fair enough... it's easy to reply:
- Wii U has no more new games
- Switch can be a portable while you can't with Wii U
- Not much people own Wii U...
- Switch is a new platform, selling well, and will have more games than Wii U
- Better Pro Controller
- No more gamepad.

And btw... I don't have a Wii U... for now.
If Xenoblade X also gets ported to Wii U, then I won't be need of buying Wii U.
Personally, I'm still not sold on buying one. You're much better off buying a PS4 to tide things off, and wait for the Switch to really get some stuff going. We don't know yet just how "good" Pokemon and Metroid are gonna be. Other M was pretty terrible, and that had a lot of hype going for it before launch, and I haven't liked the direction Pokemon took since it jumped to the 3DS (gen 5 is still the best gen imo), so I'm not too confident about that either. Just going off an announcement and a placeholder logo, it's really not enough to get me excited. At least on PS4, I've got Dragonball and Monster Hunter to look forward to this year, plus all the stuff on my backlog from last year that I never got around to playing. It's a much easier life, than waiting on every bit of news that Nintendo pushes out, and then being bummed out when they don't deliver.

Plus, the Switch is very likely to get a revision+price drop in the future as well.

My two cents.
Here is the cue... if you prefer high quality gameplay than portability, Switch just might not be for you. Don't get me wrong, I like PS4, but I have no interest buying home consoles because I am not someone who stays in a house all the time... with Switch I basically can take my home console quality games on the go. And now sale numbers proves that a lot of people are highly interested with this concept.

I personally like Nintendo Switch a lot, hell it's probably my most favorite Nintendo console. When it comes to home consoles, even Nintendo ones I tend to feel how restricted I am when playing... also my parents have more control on me playing home consoles than handheld.... this is why I later bought 3DS and New 3DS XL... handheld were always my taste, since it has most of my favorite games. If I want to play high quality games I can just go and buy it on Steam, or buy PC games, such as Skullgirls and Overwatch. So for me I actually don't see a reason to buy PS4 since most of the games I want are on PC, sure Persona 5 is great, but it is on PS3 as well, and my sister had PS3 which she never played... hm....

And bro, Nintendo already had ton of great games back in 2017, Botw and Odyssey are no brainer, you also have Xenoblaade 2 (This is why I buy Switch believe it or not), Splatoon 2, DOOM, LA Noire, Skyrim, and many awesome indie hidden gems. We are just waiting any more games for the 2018 library, since Switch 2017 already had ton of great games, I don't know why you still kind think of that Switch lacks games... maybe I am wrong though but that's just me... or perhaps you are the few people who just aren't interested in Nintendo first party games... and that's is fair reason of course... but odd how games like Odyssey and Botw doesn't interest you... then I really don't know how can Switch get you excited...

Revision and price drop is also guarantee to happen... just not possible even this year.... 2018 probably just more games and bundles that are under 300$

DK switch is cool for people who missed a GOAT game if they didnt have a wii u. Funky is cool too l, but i wouldnt recomend playing hum since he seems intentionally OP

TWEWY is coop, but i thinj it would probably be easier to get a ds version than payung full price for switch

Same for Dark Souls, althpugh ****ing DARK SOULS on switch is legendary.

Dont really care for anythung else unless it turns out Ys is really good.

WTF is up with the SNK game though. Was it really that hard to get an actual fighting game?

Watched it. Pretty nice.

Although HW: Definite Edition feels like it could be a bit better. Might grab it later on, but only after I sell my regular copies(thankfully I got no DLC) or something. These things make it hard to get other games, heh. >.>

Well, anyway, I like the various DLC, and it's cool to see Funky playable again.

I do love that Nintendo's answer to ''How do we make people buy Tropical Freeze when they've heard how difficult it is? We've tried a few times now."

''For some reason Funky Kong just makes the game easier."
''That sounds logical."

The Mario Odyssey DLC just makes me think about how people can exploit hat throwing and diving in mid-air to go literally anywhere they want. :laugh: Although, a tiny fraction of players actually do that I'd wager, so it probably won't be tiresome. As a free update, it's neat.

Aegislash for Pokken may actually get me playing my copy of DX my brother got me for Christmas. I have been feeling guilty because I haven't been able to bring myself to play it but this might give me the push I need. He was one of my favorites... before he was deemed Uber and so I never ended up using it again...

Yeah I'll admit I'm a little disappointed by the number of Wii U ports. On the one hand, the Switch to me is 100% superior to the Wii U and I wish I could magically transfer all of its games, or really all my games from all consoles, to it so I can play with the leisure unique to something truly handheld and mobile. But dropping pretty pennies for games that I've played to contentment in the past is... a really unappealing prospect. Hyrule Warriors maybe I'd consider, because I no longer have it and didn't experience all of the DLC it has to offer.

I like to think it went like this
"Can we have King of Fighters?"
"Did you say you want only the girls? ok here you go"

I do see your points. I do look forward to Monster Hunter World, but I was really hoping for Fighter Z to be on Switch, I want it portable... I'll hope for the best in the E3, but right now I doesn't feel good to be a Switch owner.
As you saw on my previous post... most were just his own two cents... it shouldn't be treated as objective complains. Like any other consoles, if there's no games that you want, then there really isn't any reason to buy it. However that doesn't mean you should bash the console or be negative about it, and most importantly not to him but...also don't be salty when Switch is selling and in a good shape... sort of.

I am going to be more raw here, I aware Manlyspirit has been negative on Nintendo Switch ever since it was revealed, and it's totally okay, I wouldn't blame him since back in the day he did have legit concerns ... not to mention how the Wii U did and how the presentation wasn't that good it is normal for many people to have negative expectations on Switch, however problem is much like other naysayers he tends to make plenty of assumptions... such as many AAA games porting to Switch will have huge downgrade etc... now fast forward to 2018, I got my Switch last year June, and now I just love my Nintendo Switch to the fact that I barely play my 3DS...
Then, the second time it happened. While my party did die alot, I was able to survive and keep it going. We killed the monster that came in and after a big chain attack, we killed the unique monster.
Oh yeah, just what unique monster is that you were fighting? Do you know the name?

Brief Dragon Quest Builders Teaser

Mario Tennis Some Kind Of Card Rank Thing

It was Climactic Honnold.

Also, thank you Xenoblade 2 Wiki for the name.

I have to do something, but here is the page on the wiki. The place is in the description.

http://xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/Climactic_Honnold
Now I felt a bit embarrassed that I missed this unique monster...
Oh... an urchin enemy... not to hard if you have topple move...
I have been to Isle or Urchin plenty of times... but I only encounter two unique monsters...

Edit:
Turns out that I have never been to Isle of Urchins... yikes~~~~~

This could have been a great place to level up...

And that urchin?
Zeke: Done and dusted... next.

I mean I know Adenine need to defeat that monster to level up skin, but she's on Merc mission so need to wait.

And now I'm caught up. Time to quote the **** outta people.

How was Hyrule Warriors for the Wii U/3DS for anyone that's tried it? I've never actually played it but that looks like something to wishlist until I get a Switch eventually. I heard it has no clones which is already a plus.
The thing about HW is that I hear FE Warriors has far better gameplay, but HW does better when it comes to fanservice (plus no clones in that one.)
You're both quite correct.

All of the HW characters are very, very different players. For a few of em (Link in particular) even swapping weapons turns them into entirely different beasts.

Other than that, it's a Musou through and through. If you enjoy Musou games, it's a damn good one. I preferred the squad feel and mechanics of FE Warriors myself, but probably still picking it up.

Adding DLC to a Definitive Edition doesn't make it very definitive.
It does after you've bought all the DLC.

In the end this is going to back fire Nintendo
Nah brah.

Understand the disappointment at no Fighterz. No Yoshi wasn't a shock, but that'll probably need its own proper trailer. The mini seemed geared towards stuff that didn't.

DK switch is cool for people who missed a GOAT game if they didnt have a wii u. Funky is cool too l, but i wouldnt recomend playing hum since he seems intentionally OP

TWEWY is coop, but i thinj it would probably be easier to get a ds version than payung full price for switch

Same for Dark Souls, althpugh ****ing DARK SOULS on switch is legendary.

Dont really care for anythung else unless it turns out Ys is really good.

WTF is up with the SNK game though. Was it really that hard to get an actual fighting game?
Couple things.
- TWEWY isn't tricky to get ahold of, sure. This looks like it's based on Solo Remix, which has a different vibe. As a DS cart owner, I say Switch version is still worth consideration.
- I'm gonna play the **** out of Funky. But not because he's OP. Although you won't hear me complain about that either.
- Honestly? Ys looks good. Guess we'll see.
- There is still no cure for Zebeitis.

That bit with Sequel Girl looked interesting.
I read that as Squirrel Girl.

Now I'm disappointed.

Welp, I warned you all what would happen if you just laid down and accepted Nintendo's ****ty ports. Now we have almost nothing but ports for 2018. I knew it. I ****ing knew it.

Last year were mostly ports too okay?
Too many Wii U ports might be a concern... but we already got new games like Valkyria Chronicles 4... and new Fire Emblem game.
Also The World Ends With You is going to be an awesome port.

Here it is, sorry that I post this again @ManlySpirit
Hmm... Got some cool stuff here.

>New Pokémon in Pokken

Blastois and Aegislash, huh? Well, Aegislash doesn't really surprise me all that much, but Blastoise? I'm 90% certain @PsychoIncarnate paid them big money just to get him in. :troll:

>Ultimate Hyrule Warriors

I've no doubt it'll come with new characters (damn well better anyways). Probably from BotW.

>DK: TF On Switch

I know someone who'll be all over this.

That was a satisfactory Nintendo Direct.

But it still gets a 2/10 because it didn't have mini Bill Trinen.

You, sir, need to calm down.

This is literally just the second week of 2018 and you're already overgeneralizing because of an 11-minute Direct.

Awfully presumptuous. They weren't going to put their big first party announcements in a mini Direct.


But yeah, let's also forget Kirby Star Allies, the new Yoshi game, and Fire Emblem 16, which are all slated for this year.

But yeah, totally. Only ports.
:rolleyes:

I'd wait and see what the rest of 2018 looks like but I guess that'd be a bit too rational.
Also ports aren't bad at all.

The Wii U is dead. Bury it.

TFW you're the latest entry in a 30+ year old franchise, but people still think you're copying from franchises less than half the age of your own

The Wii U wasn't selling gangbusters, and thus a lot of people missed out on some of its gems. Ports allow people to play them now.

And hey, even if you did get these games, here's some extra stuff, on top of them now being portable, to warrant a second purchase.

But, also, you can just, not buy them.

Not counting BotW we only had two first party Wii U ports last year which were MK8D and Pokken DX.

Considering the rest of the first party library last year... Yeah I think a couple Wii U ports isn't so bad.

And like everyone else pointed out, this was a sideshow.
